As someone with adhd it’s completely normal for me. When you’re a kid you have good reason to keep track of your age because at that time of your life you change dramatically between ages as you develop as a person, plus it’s important when asserting your identity to other as that too develops. When we’re older it’s just a number that only comes up once a year and is not that much different from the previous number, and so it’s easier to lose track of especially for people who have an affected working memory and time blindness like me. Idk if you have adhd or how often people without adhd experience this sort of thing but I can speak for my own experience. I forget how old I am, and other people’s names, all the damn time lol.

A tetraptych or pseudo-tetraptych maybe? Closest concept I can think of.

That’s so lemon.

Fucking idiots, trying to act like the chatbot wasn’t their responsibility.

Hair as well.

How small was this library? My town’s local library is more than big enough that I would be able to move to a different room or floor or section to escape noise, and they had a designated children’s area downstairs. Even in smaller towns I’d imagine the average library has more than a single room. I live in Canada but I wouldn’t think it’d be that much different in most places in the US. Heck even my university library had multiple floors and was more than big enough to escape noise in one location especially with noise cancelling headphones.

YMMV on the mouse problem depending on the cat.

What, why tf wouldn’t the cashier have to open the drawer? Why wouldn’t they have to record the sale? They’d still have to account for the loss of inventory. Even if they did the 99 cent thing all a cashier would have to do is keep a pocket full of pennies to be able to do the exact same thing. None of that makes sense as an explanation.

I could see it

I mean with the right flight sim and setup it’s functionally identical to the experience of flying a real plane, just without any of the potential danger.

God I wish.

I mean YMMV. When I put in an effort to refuse the urge to think or say negative things about my art and tried to come up with general ideas rather than a specific image I had in my mind that the real project would never be able to replicate, I found I became a lot more satisfied with my own work because I was no longer comparing the results to an impossible to achieve version of it that I had in my head nor was I constantly hyperfocusing on the flaws. I instead just targeted aspects I wanted to improve at the most.

You’ll never get the talent if you never draw, so even if you think it’ll be shit draw it anyway. Ignore skill level and stop treating it as a barrier instead of a challenge. That’s how I improved, when I stopped caring about whether I thought I could pull off a picture. Now I just attempt to draw it and if I fail to achieve the effect I want I try again and see what I can do differently the next time. Caring too much about whether I was skilled enough or whether the outcome would be good every time held me back because I became too reluctant and scared to start any projects.

Wtf, as a Canadian who had a breast reduction and a revision for free this sort of thing seems like a nightmare to me.

Depends on if I’m going in or out.

I don’t look at other people as if they are or were me, I look at them as if they are their own people who may or may not be living their life differently from me.

I don’t think you quite grasp how a hypothetical works.

I’m pretty sure there’s not a single person on the planet who expected them to be equally critical of both.

It goes top to bottom, but the crop removed the usernames so there’s no way of knowing who said what.

Uh in both mathematics and statistics I was taught that outliers are data points that differ significantly from the other values in a set of data by either being much larger or much smaller. I’ve never heard of it being described the way you are presenting it. Yes subtracting or adding anything to or from infinity gets you infinity, but outliers aren’t being added to or subtracted from, they’re being removed from the data set because they’re seen as skewing the data with a measurement or result that is, y’know, an outlier. One person who lives forever is not an accurate representation of the life expectancy of the average human, so they would obviously be the outlier who would be excluded from the data.
